Kane took the most shots last season in the entire Premier League... I'm assuming you think he was passing to himself to get those shots off?

He's not getting as many shots this season because he has next to zero pace or mobility or movement

Modric said this of levy

"However, I resented him because on a couple of occasions he had promised to let me move to a bigger club and then broke his promise. For me, one’s promise and one’s word are more important than anything. "

Fair enough.... Just asking..

Still presuming he's talking about the chavs move tho (people in general have a habit of glossing over details over time if it suits them.)...... I don't recall some long drawn out "Modrich wants out and Levy won't let him saga" that stretched back numerous summers; just the refusal to sell him to the Chavs.

Oh and as for how would we know if Kane would down tools because Modric didnt. Thats because Kane's 28 and nearing his expiry date and not won a thing in his life.

Doesn't exactly establish that we should have expected him to initiate cunt-mode though.

He might have missed his chance for a big move. And if he does well enough that levy wont budge from whatever number he has in his mind, he wont be going anywhere.

....Conventional logic suggests that right now he's screwing himself over too; both in terms of a big move and his precious individual goalscoring targets.

Modric was 26 and had 2 more years on his side. Its not all hindsight. Some people did bring that up before as well.

Some people brought it up as a theory, yes..... But there was no historic evidence to suggest that we shouldn't have trusted Kane to be a pro...... And that's the point being made here.

137 shots
23 goals

So who passed to him 137 times in 38 games?
And who’s fault was it that he missed 114 times?

This season he’s had 18 shots and scored 1

Apparently poor shooting accuracy has no effect though, and those 17 shots he missed didn’t happen because nobody passed to him

Out of principle and honor you might expect that. Out of principle Kane might have expected levy to honour the gentlemans agreement. Everyone went back on their words, and we are now left with a medicore striker.

Drop him to the bench then and see how many times England pick him. Theres no fucking excuse for going through the motions and playing like a cunt because he didnt get his way. If any of us on here did our jobs as badly as Kane we'd be sacked

Vlahovic would have no goals for us if we'd signed him. He relies on good service, you need to get crosses in to the box and play it in to his feet in the box, similar to Kane. He'd be more lively and look less mopey, but fans would already be getting on his back for not scoring.

Most of his goals are poachers goals. He works hard and his hold up play is solid, but he's not going to score solo worldies where he just runs at defenders.

Mate even Lewandowski would be fucked to score for us. We need a guy like messi that creates and finishes himself

Except that Lewandowski has 9 goals in 11 apps for Poland this season, more goals than Kane does for England in less apps

Unless you think Poland provides better service for their striker than Spurs do...

Polands last 11 games:

Albania, San Marino, England (didn't score), San Marino, Albania . . I don't think I need to go any further back, do I? In their last game vs San Marino they had 31 shots, so yes against these sides they are creating far more than we do for Kane.

The service is bad AND Kane is playing badly, the two things can co-exist. Any CF right now will struggle in our team, that's a fact. You put Son up there and maybe he will get a goal here or there and feed off scraps, but mostly he will struggle to be in games.

HAHA.

England plays shit teams yet people on here are like..."Oh mY gOd, LoOk aT KaNe'S GoAl ReCoRd FoR cLuB AnD CoUnTrY!!"

Can we just stop comparing Kane to truly world class players. It's embarrassing.

Hmm playing alongside a nonexistent striker but still has 4 PL goals, 2 assists in 8 apps including three game winners. Not bad I'd say. Pair him with a decent player up front and he'll be flying again.

Do you think Kane being provided with 18 chances to score in 8 appearances is low?

Had he scored 8, would you still think there was no service?

Yeah you're boring, I'm not interested in discussing football with some child who thinks cap locks on and off is peak comedy.

It’s bizarre how while bemoaning how Kane is “suffering” from poor teammates, people never feel that Moura or Ndombele or Son are suffering from having a Division 3 level benchwarmer in front of them

I'm not going to explain to you why a player just having shots doesn't mean he's getting genuine service, you're not a child, you can work it out.

Ok but Kane doesn’t create for himself, so who’s passing to him?

When Kane assists with a simple sideways pass, 20 meters from goal and Son buries one from long range, the assist is lauded.

So how come Kane’s shots are “not being provided to him”, unless they go in?

If he scores, he was set up, if he misses, he wasn’t set up? How does this work?
